Mill Creek MetroParks is committed to preserving the natural beauty, ecological balance, and enjoyable experience of our park for all visitors. As part of that commitment, we actively manage the population of Canada geese throughout the park district. While these birds are a natural part of our environment, large populations can lead to challenges such as habitat degradation, water quality concerns, and safety or accessibility issues on trails and recreational areas.

Our goose management efforts are designed to be humane, environmentally responsible, and in accordance with state and federal wildlife regulations. Through a combination of habitat modification, population control, and public education, we strive to maintain a healthy balance between wildlife and public use of the MetroParks.
